Method of handling radio resource

Abstract

A method of handling a radio resource for a first communication device in a wireless communication system includes transmitting at least one notification frame to a second communication device, to indicate a radio resource rearrangement; applying the radio resource rearrangement; determining at least one radio resource threshold according to the radio resource rearrangement; receiving a packet from the second communication device and determining whether the second communication device applies the radio resource rearrangement according to the received packet and the at least one radio resource threshold; and performing a specific operation when determining the second communication device does not apply the radio resource rearrangement, to communicate with the second communication device via the rearranged radio resources.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of handling radio resource for a first communication device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 transmitting at least one notification frame to a second communication device, to indicate a radio resource rearrangement; 
 applying the radio resource rearrangement; 
 determining at least one radio resource threshold according to the radio resource rearrangement; 
 receiving a packet from the second communication device and determining whether the second communication device applies the radio resource rearrangement according to the received packet and the at least one radio resource threshold; and 
 performing a specific operation when determining the second communication device does not apply the radio resource rearrangement, to communicate with the second communication device via the rearranged radio resources; 
 wherein the step of receiving the packet from the second communication device and determining whether the second communication device applies the radio resource rearrangement according to the received packet and the at least one radio resource threshold comprises:
 decoding a physical layer header of the received packet, to acquire identification information; 
 identifying the packet when the identification information matches an identification of the first communication device; and 
 determining whether the second communication device applies the radio resource rearrangement according to the identified packet and the at least one radio resource threshold. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one notification frame comprises at least one of a very high throughput (VHT) operation mode notification frame, a spatial multiplexing (SM) power save frame and a notify channel width frame. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises at least one of a station identifier and a group identifier. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of determining whether the second communication device applies the radio resource rearrangement according to the identified packet and the at least one radio resource threshold comprises:
 decoding a physical layer header of the identified packet, to acquire radio resource information; 
 comparing the radio resource information with the at least one radio resource threshold; and 
 determining the second communication device does not apply the radio resource rearrangement when the radio resource information does not satisfy the at least one radio resource threshold. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the specific operation when determining the second communication device does not apply the radio resource rearrangement, to communicate with the second communication device via the rearranged radio resources comprises:
 adopting a time division multiplexing solution to communicate with the second communication device via the rearranged radio resource. 
 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of performing the specific operation when determining the second communication device does not apply the radio resource rearrangement, to communicate with the second communication device via the rearranged radio resources comprises:
 disassociating the second communication device; and 
 rebuilding connection with the second communication via the rearranged radio resource.
